Chapter 584: Extra Scenes

The assistant director said with a bitter face, “It’s Feng Ke’er.”
Feng Ke’er was the second female lead in this drama. When Tan Mo had just arrived, Tan Jinqi had introduced her to her.
At that time, Feng Ke’er had even said with a smile that she wanted to have a meal with her.
For someone who had just met her for the first time, it was a little too cordial.
However, Tan Mo did not really intend to have a meal with her.
He thought that Feng Ke’er was probably just saying that, so he said something like “Let’s have dinner together some other day.” Which day was it? The person who spoke didn’t say it, and the person who answered didn’t ask.
The formality of an adult was something that was tacitly understood.
“She suddenly wants to change a scene,” the assistant director said.
“Change a scene?” Tan Jinqi raised his eyebrows and suddenly sneered, “What does she think is wrong?”
When Tan Jinqi asked this question, Feng Ke’er happened to walk over with the script.
“Director Tan.” Feng Ke’er walked over and saw Tan Mo. She said, “Screenwriter Tan is here too.”
When she called him that, Feng Ke’er felt a little uncomfortable.
Tan Mo was really too young. Even though she had written the biography of Wei and Jin, when she saw Tan Mo in person, she would always make people forget Tan Mo’s achievements.
“Since Screenwriter Tan is also here, it’s more convenient.” Feng Ke’er seemed to have nothing to fear. Although she was smiling, her attitude was very confident.
Tan Mo did not play dumb with her. “I heard that you want to change the scene? How?”
“It’s like this. When brother Guo and Miao Tong went out to the mountains to search for the ancient ruins, didn’t Miao Tong get injured in the middle?”Feng Ke’er said.
Brother Guo was referring to the male lead of this drama, Guo Shaoyu.
Feng Ke’er looked at Tan Mo’s young age. Even though she was a screenwriter, she wasn’t polite to her.
Only a few big screenwriters in the industry had some say.
The rest were nothing.
Therefore, even though Tan Mo was Tan Jinqi’s younger sister, Feng Ke’er didn’t really care about Tan Mo.
Xu Miaotong felt that Tan Jinqi had a bright future, but that was a matter for the future.
Feng Ke’er also had someone supporting her, so she did not have to worry about not being able to film.
Coming to this movie was just to act as a stepping stone and get familiar with her face a few times.
This was the third female supporting role that she had acted in.
The first two roles were not for the second female lead. This movie would directly act as the second female lead, and each of the roles would be heavier than the other.
The company had already planned for her. The next movie they gave her would be the female lead.
The company had a good relationship with Ke Feng. They had already traded a few variety shows and online dramas with Ke Feng.
Although Ke Feng’s platform was highly divided, it would allow the artists to show their faces more often. They would be able to make a name for themselves and earn back their money from the business side.
With the company’s relationship with Ke Feng, Feng Ke’er was not afraid.
She did not get much pay for the film anyway.
She had read through the script and her scenes were not a little worse than Xu Miaotong’s, so she had already planned to do so.
However, she did not do it on her own. She complained to her manager and suggested her own ideas.
It was her manager who gave her an idea.
Now, Feng Ke’er felt that it was about time, so she used this method.
“The male lead carried the female lead on his back, healing his wounds while running for his life,” Feng Ke’er said. “I feel that just the scenes between the two of them are too thin. I thought that we should add more scenes along the way.”
Feng Ke’er smiled, “For example, if they met me on the way and the male lead ran away with the female lead, it would be inconvenient. So I helped them to distract the pursuers. The journey was fraught with danger. “During filming, two lines can run parallel, and both lines are fraught with danger. “In this way, wouldn’t the plot be more full and compact?”
“No.” Tan Mo rejected it very straightforwardly. How could she not know that this was just an excuse for Feng Ke’er to add more episodes? “The first season of this series only has 12 episodes.”
After confirming Ke Feng’s investment, other than Tan Jinqi’s investment, Ke Feng pulled some strings to increase the investment.
Tan Jinqi held many meetings with Ke Feng and finally confirmed the number of episodes for the first season.
“When do you have time to add so many scenes?” Tan Mo smiled. “You also have your storyline. There’s no need to rush here.”
Tan Jinqi smiled. His Momo actually knew how to appease people.
Who knew that Feng Ke’er wasn’t willing to give up, “My storyline isn’t in the first season, so it’s in the second and third season, right? Although it’s a seasoned broadcast, if the first season’s results aren’t ideal, they definitely won’t continue the second season’s production. When that time comes, what else do I have to do?”
“Director, my scenes in the first season are really too few. No matter what, give me more scenes,” said Feng Ke’er, “My request isn’t too much. Just shoot more scenes and increase the time. If it really doesn’t work, cut out some other scenes. This way, the plot will be more compact and it’ll look better.”
“The storyline you mentioned will disrupt the plot’s rhythm, and it won’t look good.”Tan Mo saw that Feng Ke’er didn’t have any intention of negotiating, so he couldn’t be bothered to persuade her. “Both lines are a pursuit. If the plot is repeated, how can it be full and compact?”
“Don’t worry. There will definitely be a second season of this drama. There won’t be any fewer scenes for you,” Tan Jinqi said.
“Director Tan, you can’t guarantee this. The results will decide.” Feng Ke’er sneered and said, “To be honest, the pay for this drama is low, and I’m very serious about filming it. You said that you don’t need a stand-in, so I don’t need any. I’m doing it all by myself. Even if the scenes on the mountaintop are so difficult, I’m still here.”
“There aren’t many people who can do this now.” Feng Ke’er felt that it was very rare for her to do this. “Add some scenes for me. Can’t you agree to this little request?”
Tan Jinqi said coldly, “This is your job. Isn’t it your duty to be serious about the film? How did you say that it’s not easy to be serious about the film?”
“As for the remuneration, when I contacted you, you knew that it was just this remuneration. And your market price is also within this range. “I didn’t let you suffer a loss. I gave you a remuneration below the market price,” Tan Jinqi said coldly, “Before the shooting started, the script was also shown to you.”
“When you read the script, you didn’t have any objections. Now, you’re complaining that you don’t have enough scenes?” Tan Jinqi said coldly, “I can’t change the script and add more scenes just for you.”
“You guys also changed the script a lot during filming,” Feng Ke’er said unhappily.
“That was for the sake of the plot, not for the sake of a certain actor,” Tan Jinqi said in a deep voice, “If everyone is like you, and everyone wants to add more scenes, do you still want to shoot this scene?”
However, Feng Ke’er knew that not everyone had her courage and reliance.
Feng Ke’er took a deep breath and her expression turned cold as if she was about to fall out with him. “So, director Tan, you won’t change the script no matter what? Is it the same when it comes to screenwriters?”
“I won’t change it,” Tan Mo said coldly.
Feng Ke’er thought to herself that they were brother and sister.. Naturally, they would vent their anger through the same nose.
